Advice for Weddings Being Postponed

Thanks for the positivism We are all anxious for our wedding date for sure, but the virus can't take it away, only postpone it!

Same girl! We had a 2 year engagement.. what’s another 6 months? Now I get some more time to work on my tan and look amazing in my dress 😂 positives right?

This is a good post! Keeps the positivity alive

View Quoted Comment Comparing to planning for two months I feel like having to postpone our month 5 months later is still around the corner !

Hi guys! We are supposed to get married on May 16 in Maryland. Our
venue told us that as of right now, the venue is still going as is with
May weddings. For those getting married in March and April, they are
giving couples two options: to have the wedding but only up to 50 guests
(that includes vendors) or to postpone. We have not had to make that
decision yet but we were trying to come up with a plan b to still have
the legal ceremony on the same date and have the reception at a later
time. It looks like this will not be able to happen either because the
city has stopped issuing marriage licenses for the foreseeable future.
We already sent out invitations. I am not sure what to do.

It
is tough. I feel angry, disappointed, helpless, frustrated, selfish for
worrying about a wedding when there are people who are are worrying
about how they will keep a roof over their head and food on the table,
and a whole bunch of other emotions.

View Quoted Comment Erica so sorry that this is happening to you as well. My suggests is if you have a lot of family coming from out of town or if you plan on inviting a lot of people I would post pone. Although things may be back together people may not afford to come down for a wedding or take the days off due to many jobs closing temporarily without pay. However, you do have time to check on your guests to see if their plans remain the same. If more people are not sure it is best you postpone just so you don’t spend extra money on empty seats. If you do plan on having a small wedding I would still reach out to your guests but it will probably be easier to get everyone together again. I wouldn’t wait too long because I’m sure you would want all your vendors to be available is you do decide to postpone. Good luck and I know this decision is difficult

Hi Samari,

We ended up postponing our wedding until next year. Unfortunately the only day we could get that was earliest Saturday March 6, 2021. It is not ideal but at this point I don't really care about the date. I just want everyone to feel safe and be able to come and feel healthy and have fun.
